Helping You Be A Light To The World

When to use a 501(c)(3)

Ministries that will rely on grant money should keep or establish a 501(c)(3).  Many Faith Based Organizations (FBO) have outreach programs that utilize grant money to help provide food, shelter, or education to those in need.  In these cases a 501(c)(3) organization is required to apply and maintain reporting requirements for the grant.  If your FBO fits this description, we can show you how your FBO can have both a 508(c)(1)(a) and a 501(c)(3) and how these organizations interact.

We do not live in a world where churches should voluntarily limit their freedom to engage in that political conduct necessary to achieve a more Godly planet. Cleveland Futch & Dan Peterson explain in their article ‘WHY ALL CHURCHES SHOULD BE A 508(c)(1)(a)‘ how churches can regain their freedom to engage the system to obtain a more just world by simply claiming they are more than just a Charity. It is as necessary now, as it was during the Revolutionary War, for people of faith to provide the moral compass which this corrupt government so desperately needs.
